 Network team and Ooni (?) are moving toward GitHub. Snowflake is tiny by
 comparison, which is why I suspect if we're going to move at all it will
 be toward GitHub rather than GitLab. That said, delighted for folks to
 experiment.

 Ooni use GitHub as their main development platform, including tickets and
 pull requests.

 In the network team, we've tried using GitHub and various GitLab instances
 for a few different things. But we tend to want to retain control of our
 git and tickets. So at the moment, we use GitHub as a git mirror, for pull
 request review, and to trigger branch and pull request CI on Travis and
 Appveyor. If GitLab can work with Travis and Appveyor, then that would
 make the transition easier for us. (We also use tor's git and Jenkins, for
 CI, and to build nightly binaries.)

 But I have no idea what GitLab will do for us. So it's very hard for me to
 have an informed opinion on any transition.

 Can we please create a list of:
 * the things GitLab MUST give us
   * these are our acceptance criteria: if the migration doesn't do the
 thing, we should roll it back and try again
 * the things GitLab SHOULD NOT give us:
   * these are our known sacrifices: if the migration loses the thing, we
 agree to accept it anyway

 Anything not listed might be included, if it's easy to do. But we can't
 rely on it.

 Who can create a list like this, and when can we have it ready?
 (Or is there an existing list?)
